Multiple Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformation

ABSTRACT

Multiple cerebral arteriovenous malformations(AVMs) are thought to be rare lesions. The authors present a case of multiple AVMs in te left cerebral hemisphere. A 26-year-old male patient came to the hospital for evaluation of recurrent attacks of generalizd seizures. Cerebral angiography demonstrated two separated AVMs having different feeders and drain veins in the left cerebral hemisphere. Using staged operations we excised the lesions completely. The criteria and surgical tactics of multiple AVMs are discussed with a review of the literature.
